Ideas for Swing Text -> SVG Text?

[Bishop, Michael W. CONTR J9C880]

Has anyone ever mimicked the “text” component in a program like Paint or Photoshop where you click on the canvas, a box shows up, you type in your text and it’s there on the canvas?  How would I go about implementing this in a way that can be easily translated to SVG?  I’d like my Swing component to look as close as possible to the resultant SVG “text” component that gets added to the document and rendered to the JSVGCanvas.  Anyone done something like this before?   Michael Bishop
